Hi Friends,
I am trying to catch up a bit with the journalling events that I planned to join this month, and I’m feeling quite good that I am up to date with Care December and working my way through the other two challenges. The main issue at the moment is having so little good light to take the photos – approx a hour a day lol – so I need to be quick and home at the right time! If you haven’t heard of this event, Care December is held by the Wanderlust people, Everything Art UK, it’s a free event that anyone can join on their website.
Today’s Art . . .
About today’s pages: This background is sprayed with Distress Oxide Unchartered Mariner and Infusions and splattered with gold paint. Then I added the picture of the bird, some handmade paper and a snowflake I cut from silver glitter card. I thought about the prompt and the idea of snow and snow melting. On the facing page, I added the window diecut and the stag, with some book paper underneath. There are also pieces of washi tape under the titles.
Care December Day 8 – Impermanence
Care December Day 9 – Boundaries
About the journal: This entire journal is made from handmade paper and all the negative pieces leftover from diecutting all those Christmas cards a few weeks ago. I was using A4 paper for all the diecutting and so I was left with all of that diecutting waste, so I decided I would use it for the background of my pages. On top of that I sprayed either Infusions, or Distress Oxide or a combination of both, so for a change the inside of my journal has a consistent look! I am also using some old paper that I found in a drawer, it’s a book of hmm I guess like a cardmaking kit, so there are lots of elements that you are supposed to assemble into cards. It cost me £3 years ago and I liked the wintry images, so I figured I would try and use it up in this journal and see how it went. I also typed out all the daily prompts and printed them out and glued them to each page.
Since this page is very wintry I am also sharing it with Jo’s theme of Snowy Winter over on Art Journal Journey (link below).
Let me know what you think in the comments. As always, thanks for reading!

I like how you interpreted impermanence. I would not have known where to begin. I love the die cut window and how you used it to interpret boundaries. this is another great entry using Jo’s theme at Art Journal Journey, dear Elle.
